Subject: Vonnie’s Hero, Villain, Mission
What I learned doing this assignment is… keep it simple and focus on the basic components one at a time.
Fill in the blanks and see what shows up.
Concept: Medical doctor must kill her family in order to destroy an evil gene.
Hero Morally Right: to destroy evil gene before it destroys a communityVillain Morally Wrong: to lie, torture, kill just so he can build an empire of evil
Hero
A. Unique Skill Set: Scientist with special fighting skills acquired through life’s lessons <div>
B. Motivation: Destroy an evil gene.
C. Secret or Wound: when she was ten her siblings sold her body after they believed they killed her.
Villain
A. Unbeatable: He has money, power, weapons and followers who kiss his ring. </div><div>
B. Plan/Goal: build a family empire on the foundations of evil values
C. What they lose if Hero survives: Villain loses money, power and his life
Impossible Mission
A. Puts Hero in Action: She captures the siblings one at a time through fighting, ambush, faces off with members of the community, use of a unique weapon. </div><div>
B. Demands They Go Beyond Their Best: She is not just fighting one man and her siblings, she’s fighting the whole village that is influenced by them and she can trust no one. She uses science, psychology and fighting skills she did not know she still have.
C. Destroy the Villain: Sabotage his plan to use his children as the foundation for his evil empire then kill him in a unique way with the help of one sibling who is the deus ex machina.
2. Once you have filled in a quick answer to each, go back and extrapolate (If _____, then how might _____?) to elevate any answers you can.
3. Tell us your improved answers.
Villain:
· The villain is her father this might give her a deeper inner conflict and set up conflict with siblings who are brainwashed …
Mission:
The mission is to save one man who previously saved her then I could have have a plot layer that gradually reveals the true mission.
Hero:
· What if my hero is a Chef? How might this enhance her fighting skills with knives, and other culinary and agricultural tools? I like that the hero is a doctor whose oath of office is “…. do no harm…” and ends up having to kill to save lives … I’ll make her a chef (cook) turned physician and use her knowledge of science as a fighting weapon
Destroying the villain:
One sibling reverses character and ends up being the deus ex machina that finally put end to father and evil bloodline.
